erickok (2292) - Tours, - FEB 12, 2013
Misty orange golden body with foamy off white head. Sweet hops, dry apricots, fresh yeast and apple compote. Interesting and odd aroma, sweeter than expected, tropical fruits yet a classic appeal still. Taste disappoints a bit... Very dry, almost overdeveloped taste. Bit yoghurt like ending, light bitter base. Different than your typical bitter or hopped blond. I kind of dig it even though it’s odd. (33cl bottle from Bière Révolution)

fiulijn (12179) - Malmö, DENMARK - NOV 28, 2012
Bottle from La Cave à Bulles, Paris; LB7 bb 31/12/2014
Hazy blond color. It has light fruity notes from the hop, a bit of citrus fruits, light crispy malt. The mouthfeel is quite dry; the malt flavor is not very interesting, a bit of corn and paper, but the hop provides a light fruity quality; correct bitterness.
Pleasant, but easy; it could have some better crispy malt and fresher hop quality.

yngwie (10761) - Kristiansand, NORWAY - FEB 18, 2012
Bottle, 75cl. An almost clear one, golden in color and with a small, white head. Cellar notes, dust, fruityness, some pale malts and canned tropical fruit mix in the aroma. The flavor has a little bitterness showing up towards the end, with tropical fruits, pale malts and some citrus peel. Full-bodied and nicely carbonated. Lasting finish. Overall, a quite nice one, not your average pale ale, but nice anyway. 120218
